He was engaged in wall painting in the New York Metro, as well as in Melbourne, Sydney, Rio de Janeiro, Amsterdam, Paris, Berlin. He was friends with Jean-Michel Bascias, Andy Warhol and Madonna, and collaborated with Yoko Ono and Grace Jones. The first personal exhibition of Keith Haring was organized in New York (1982).
